real-time fleet management and security

real-time fleet management and security Helios "the Ruler of the Sun, believed to be the All-Seeing " according to early Greek mythology Eye in the Sky

The most sophisticated unit for real-time fleet management and security applications The comedian Sid Caesar once said: The guy who invented the first wheel was a fool. The guy who invented the other three, he was a genius! Our at Manufacturers didn t invent the vehicle location system. We invented the other three wheels that totally changed the world of vehicle location and raised it to perfection Our products are fully adjusted to every need They are fully customized to alert any type and combination of events, they enable automatic operation, and maintain stability and continuity. It is the only system that provides solutions to every conceivable need. The advanced wisdom of Helios enables us to offer you the useful information in a very practical and userfriendly way, that even the most complicated analysis automatically becomes simple and easy to use. By using Helios products You enjoy the easy and convenient use of the system, due to its all-in-one solution base; its easy and simple installation; its integration with the local surroundings of the car or motorcycle; its flexibility to local needs; its compact size that includes built in antennas; its infinite applications; and its opportunities to broaden its future applications You maintain stability due to the state of the art OTA (over the air) ability to remotely upgrade the unit with new features and change settings within the existing firmware of the unit. Thereby, there is constant communication with the car or motorcycle even in the event of a malfunction. You save time and money because of the possibility to define different frequencies of transmission according to the local broadcast or Roaming. You can take advantage of the high quality of the system which complies with the Automotive industry standards. You are in control of every possible circumstance or situation. The open system and its platform allow integration of every situation, both simple and complicated. For example: You can define a request to change the broadcasting frequency automatically once the car enters a specific area and the door is opened. You are confident that in the event of an unusual situation the system will automatically be activated. For example: At the time of an accident, the system will automatically unlock the doors and beep every pre-set amount of minutes to identify the location of the car or motorcycle.

Do you want to better manage your fuel consumption and reduce your vehicle fleet's running costs? Starcom GPS Global Solutions can help you to do this. Fuel is today s largest expense for running a vehicle, making it one of the largest expenditures for operating a vehicle fleet. The escalating fuel pricing poses fleet owners with the challenge of lowering fuel consumption by improving driver usage of fuel. The main reasons for excessive fuel consumption in vehicles are driving style (hard acceleration/breaking, excessive speed, idling) and a lack of internal controls for fuel management. Starcom Systems delivers three different solutions for fuel-consumption monitoring to perfectly meet different usage requirements. All three solutions have been designed to: monitor fuel refills, observe driving patterns and present a comparison between the defined distance covered and actual fuel consumed, so that fuel theft detection is made possible. 1. Helios AVL solution - OBD II Using two wires, a direct connection to the vehicle's on-board diagnostics is made, providing very accurate fuel level readings. 2. Helios AVL solution - Built-in fuel level sensor The vehicle's existing built-in fuel level sensor is connected to Starcom System's automatically calibrated system using a simple one-wire connection and provides accurate and reliable information regarding the fuel level of the vehicle. 3. Helios AVL unit and an External "cut-in" sensor External "cut-in" sensor for when the built-in fuel level sensor (by the vehicle manufacturer) is unavailable or not accurate enough, Starcom System's provides a wide range of "cut-in" external sensors, providing very high accuracy and reliable information for both fuel tanks and mobile refuelers. Sensors lengths range from 55 cm to 4,000 cm.

Fuel Consumption Monitoring The fuel consumption monitoring report presents information about every route the vehicle has taken, from ignition and until the key switch is turned off. For each route, the report will show the fuel consumed and distance covered in Ltr/Km. In addition the report will indicate points at which the vehicle was re-fueled and any sudden drops in fuel level detecting a possible case of fuel theft. Statistics Available Total work hours (engine) Total mileage Average fuel consumption (L/100km) Total amount of suspicious fuel usage in litres Total number of suspicious drops in fuel level Number of times refueled Total amount of litres refueled *information displayed above is for the selected time period

Driver Behaviour Report Other essential factors affecting fuel consumption are driver behaviour patterns. For this reason the Fuel Consumption Monitoring Solutions offered by Starcom Systems also consist of a Driver Behaviour Report: By using the driver behaviour report, you can identify drivers with bad driving styles, address the problem instantly and save unnecessary losses to your business.
